The diagnosis and treatment of intratesticular varicocele.
A case of varicocele is reported. The dilated veins were situated in the left testis. The diagnosis required color Doppler sonography. Successful treatment was performed by transcatheter embolization of the left spermatic vein. The control sonogram revealed complete regression. A literature search yielded only three previous cases of intratesticular varicocele. No data were found on the treatment of this entity.
